Podcast appearances and mentions of william costello

The number of adult virgins is growing and is actually at a record high. Many of these folks would like to be having sex, but cannot find a partner. In other words, they are involuntarily celibate, or “incels” for short. So what do we know about these individuals? A deeper look at the psychology of incels reveals a group that is struggling with complex mental health issues. In today's episode, we're revising my conversation with William Costello, which originally aired back in episode 133. This conversation will probably surprise you because it turns out that incels aren't exactly who we think they are. Incels aren't new either—they've actually always been around, but changes in the modern dating market seem to be creating a lot of more of them. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: Why incels have always been around, and how modern incels are different. Why the incel population is growing. Why popular dating advice given to incels isn’t helpful. What the mental health of incels looks like. Whether incels are inherently prone to violence and misogyny. You can check out William’s body of research on ResearchGate. You can also read his latest paper on incels here. Got a sex question?

Dive into a very interesting conversation with our latest podcast episode featuring researcher William Costello to discuss his extensive research into the community known as Incels which stands for ‘involuntary celibate'. The term describes online community of individuals, predominantly males, who feel they are unable to find a romantic or sexual partner despite wanting one. However, it's crucial to note that not everyone who experiences involuntary celibacy identifies with or is part of this community. In this enlightening episode, Costello provides invaluable insights into the world of Incels, which involves a complex interplay of various factors, including social, psychological, and cultural elements that contribute to the formation and perpetuation of their beliefs and behaviours.  Join us as we navigate the nuances of this pressing issue, exploring the psychological and sociocultural dimensions that shape the Incel community. Discover the thought-provoking perspectives that illuminate this intricate topic, shedding light on the broader implications for society and the ways in which understanding can foster empathy and dialogue.

Freddie also describes the personal impact that doing Vent has had on his life in making him take ownership of his mental health recovery, changing his perspective on specific issues and what he hopes to achieve with it in the future.

They are described as isolated, violent misogynists. So what draws men to the community of “incels” – or involuntary celibates? Do they hate women or are their reasons for rejecting sex more complex? Justin Quirk delves into the dark corners of the internet with William Costello, expert on the psychology of incels at the University of Austin at Texas, to find out how worried we should be about them. “You have a supply and demand problem – a skewed sex ratio.” “The sensationalising of incel violence is a worrying trend.” “The term ‘incel' first appeared on a lesbian forum in the late 1990s.” Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Justin Quirk.

Josh and William Costello discuss the findings of his research into incels and it's implication in understanding the sub-culture. They also discuss the evolutionary psychological understanding of mate preference and how this applies to modern dating.

Some people want to have sexual and romantic relationships but are unable to do so. They are involuntarily celibate. For some, this perceived inability to form and maintain sexual and romantic relationships becomes a defining feature of the self---a social identity known as "incel." In the popular media, incels tend to be characterized as misogynists and male supremecists who are prone to violence. However, the truth about incels is more complex, and it turns out that the incels aren't exactly who we think they are. So let's take a look inside the minds of incels. I am joined by William Costello, a PhD student at the University of Texas at Austin, where he is a member of Dr. David Buss's Evolutionary Psychology lab. He holds a Masters in Psychology, Culture, and Evolution from Brunel University London and his dissertation investigated the psychology of incels. Some of the topics we discuss include: Why incels have always been around, and how modern incels are different. Why changes in the mating market are creating more incels. What do people who identify as incel look like? Do they match up with the stereotypes (i.e., young, White, conservative)? Why popular dating advice given to incels isn't helpful. What the mental health of incels looks like. Are incels inherently prone to violence?

William Costello is an evolutionary psychologist, writer and Ph.D. student at the University of Texas. Men being hopeless with women is not a new phenomenon. But them self-identifying and creating a subculture around being "genetic dead ends" definitely is. William conducted some of the world's first research into the underlying psychological profile of incels to find out just what's going on. Expect to learn why 45% of working age women will be single and childless by 2030, why many incels would rather bond over failure than over trying to improve, why women dating down is causing huge problems, whether Leonardo DiCaprio should date people his own age, whether incels are alt-right, why the claim that incels are all white men is superbly wrong and much more...

We talk about their mental wellbeing, and their self-perceptions of their own mate value. We discuss possible psychotherapeutic approaches, and singlehood. We talk about how people should view incels, misrepresentations in the media, and the advice they get online. We then get into some issues with modern mating, how it is hard for both men and women, and potential solutions. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, TOM ROTH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, AL ORTIZ, NELLEKE BAK, KATHRINE AND PATRICK TOBIN, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS P.

Well it was a heavy news week in the incelosphere, and the news is always bad, so we begin this episode with a deconstruction and a rant. As an antidote, today's episode features an interview with friend of the pod and brilliant researcher, William Costello (@costellowilliam), whose Masters thesis about incels produced some encouraging and enlightening results.

MASSACHUSETTS, 1933: When Captain William Costello was found unresponsive on his bathroom floor, the responding doctor assumed he suffered a heart attack. No sooner was the last flower laid at his tomb did the rumors begin to swirl. It seemed no one believed the Fire Captain died of anything natural. All eyes were on his wife, Mrs. Jessie Costello, who seemed to love the attention. This is the story of William Costello and his wife, Jessie Costello.

In this episode of Mind On The Game, returning guest William Costello comes back onto the podcast to talk about his love affair with Gaelic Football. The Irish sport is a combination of rugby, football, handball and a bit of hockey as well and is a complete outlier in its uniqueness. The only sport that comes close to being as unique is Aussie Rules Football. In this shorter MOTG episode we discuss Will's special relationship with the sport, how its given him joy and distraction, a nostalgic link to his home when playing it in the UK, its rich history and how it can provide a coping mechanism for many people struggling with addiction, especially alcohol.
